Re: Official NHL Thread

The Kings and Habs are my favorite teams, I'm from Montreal, so I'm kind of forced to support them, I never liked their choice of favoring speed over size tho, I thought the Briere's signing was a bad one, we did not need another midget on the team.

As for the Kings, I like how that team is build, they're big, they're dirty and they're good.

Re: Official NHL Thread

I literally almost had a heart attack.

My Red Wings are now only 3 points out of the playoffs with enough time to get in, assuming we can win and Toronto loses. Our schedule is friggin tough, though, and practically our entire team is out with injuries....all I want to do is make the playoffs. I can't believe we even won today against the Pens, who are flying high....I love my team, but, damn, it's pretty embarrassing to be a top team and get beaten by them, so rigged with injuries.

We also beat the Leafs the other day so I was the only happy person at work

Re: Official NHL Thread

The Penguins!

When I think of the NHL legend Mario Lemieux, I think of his charitable Hodgkin's Disease Foundation, the greatness of the Pittsburgh Penguins (and how they IMO dismantled the 'tyranny' of Wayne Gretzky's LA Kings), and, of course, NHL 14 (EA Sports) and how video-games re-recreate 'sports staging.'

====

LEMIEUX: The Penguins are great, and Pittsburgh is great!
GRETZKY: I brought greatness to LA which would not be known for ice-hockey!
LEMIEUX: That's true, but the Penguins are closer rivals to teams such as the Bruins and Canadiens.
GRETZKY: Video-games are great windows into the hyping of 'pure skill.'
LEMIEUX: Youngsters like using famous athletes as 'avatars' in simulation experiences.
GRETZKY: Video-games and MTV cause hypnosis and attention problems...
LEMIEUX: Yes, but with proper supervision, they can be used to 'cheer' media/sports.
GRETZKY: What's the difference then between a Gretzky video-game and Barbie dolls?
LEMIEUX: It's all about the spotlight on activities that unite both kids and adults.
GRETZKY: Free-agency and steroids have killed televised sports.
LEMIEUX: I believe video-games (e.g., NHL 14) can bring back pedestrian interest in popular sports!
GRETZKY: Well, Gatorade is of course connected to the Florida Gators...
LEMIEUX: Sidney Crosby is making the Penguins great again (and is featured on the cover of a video-game!).
GRETZKY: I prefer Xbox to Playstation...

2-2!

Well, the Penguins and the Predators are all tied-up 2-2 after the Predators came storming back with 5-1 and 4-1 victories in Games 3 and 4 at Nashville (Tennessee).

Game 5 is Thursday 6/8 in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania).

I still have high hopes Crosby will come through to carry the Penguins to a 3rd Stanley Cup trophy under his leadership.

This will provide some nice buffer chatter for the tedious NBA Finals between the monstrous Warriors and monstrous Cavaliers, which so far has gone completely the Warriors' way. I'm just weary reading about Warriors and LeBron...
